These are packaged under the label Astra and are made in Poland, same as the other ''contour'' carts.
My curiosity got the better of me today, so i bought these and a contour handle (very cheap here). Thing is, these cartridges do not fit the contour handle...
Any ideas? Maybe older style Atra handle?
While those are the cheapest carts here, they are the only ones without the schmutz (gel) stripe which i am trying to avoid...

Just so you know what Galhatz and I are talking about, I had this up on the B/S/T a while back and there were no takers so I put it back in storage. When I saw his post about the above blades I knew this would work.

So, for the price of postage from the good old USA to the Czech Republic, I mailed this razor this morning.

The razor arrived today.
It is really nice : Good balance nice feel in hand - pretty classy if I do say so myself, I would post some photos when I get the chance.

Thank you Johnny!

As for the Astra/Gillette carts, being spoiled by the super sharp Feather Neo cartridges, these are ok but they are not brilliant as the Feather ones. I ordered a Feather branded Trac cartridges off ebay last week, we'll see.

The razor also had a pack of adjustable Schick cartridges, I will give them a try next time.

I am waiting for the Feather trac cartridges to arrive still, but I feel like stocking up on these as well. No gel/schmutz strip and it delivered a fantastic shave today.
These carts are the bottom price here in Prague. They don't sell the handles (but they do sell Wilkinson DE handles).
They stock the shelves with them strictly to lure in the folks that still use this system, just like CVS and Walgreen still stock GEM SE blades.
